Whitney Houston Dies

Whitney Houston Dies

The year got off to a tragic start when Whitney Houston passed away in February. Whitney died just six months before her new movie, Sparkle, came out, starring Jordin Sparks. "I miss her. She was so much fun and hilarious," Jordin told Seventeen shortly after Whitney's death. "She was very nurturing toward me and very, very nice." The legendary singer made her magazine-cover debut on Seventeen, back in 1981.
